CAPTAIN AMERICA by Gerard de la Costa

Just got back from a Mediterranean vacation late yesterday, opened the blog and saw that Captain America was the choice of the week. Damn! I couldn't pass that up given that he's one of my favourite heroes of all time (the red, white and blue, wings on the cowl, and that boomerang shield: what's not to love???). But somewhere down the line we're going to have to give "our home and native land" the props she deserves and do up a Canadian hero!

So despite battling jet lag and blowing the deadline here's my take on the good captain.

CAPTAIN AMERICA by Neil Tavares

So In light of recent events, I figured I would do a bit of a redesign on the old Capn'. Maybe have him leading the charge in a more modern military attire as opposed to the classical costume. Hope you all like.

CAPTAIN AMERICA by Meaghan Carter

I'll admit I had a lot of trouble coming up with a good composition for Cap'n A here. It wasn't until I found a costume design from the movie (EDIT: David says design is actually from the ultimates haha. I guess I only assumed as much because the picture was in an article about the movie) that I really liked, that I started getting a better feel for the characters. I sort of had this idea of them dropping him in to the battle like a bomb. Taking this week to play around with spotting blacks again.

CAPTAIN AMERICA by Michael Walsh

Great pick for this week by Neil. I'm a giant fan of Ed Brubakers Cap stuff and find the character extremely fun to draw. Had a lot of fun with this weeks pic and can't wait to see everyones rendition.  I went for a "Rally the troops" WW2 era cap. Next week is my pick and I have something extra special planned for my piece of artwork so definitely stay tuned.

CAPTAIN AMERICA by David Cutler

Captain America and the Invaders. Sometimes I feel like Cap should have been Marvel's only costumed superhero fighting in World War II to have the impact he's meant to, and other times I feel like the Invaders are pretty cool, too. You certainly can't argue with Union Jack's costume, but how old is Prince Namor supposed to be, anyway?

And yeah, Wolverine's hanging out in the background there, because Canada was there, too, dammit.

Cap was an awesome pick for this week from Neil--I'm always pro Kirby characters!

CAPTAIN AMERICA by Ken House

It's Cap and in honor of the film, he's packing heat! No, actually I started this as a drawing of Ultimate WW2 Cap and, once again seduced by a classic costume, I opted not to change the pose for the sake of gun drawing practice and slackerdom. This is a picture of a Steve Rogers who is making tough compromises.

Also, I went for a Kirby/Steranko vibe with the pose. It turned out dorky but that's alright.
